3.0 out of 5 starsPlease stop the preaching and just present the subject!!
By Counselor on April 17, 2011
Format: Hardcover
As a practitioner of employment law for nearly 30 years and a teacher of employment law for about 10 years, I find this book to adequately present the subject area. It has some excellent teaching touches as well, such as the scenarios at the beginning of each chapter and the discussion questions at the end. Unfortunately I find it marred by the authors' ubiquitous liberal preaching. It detracts from an objective presentation of the cases and the subject. I would find the text much more appealing if this was just left out. As teachers isn't it our task to present the subject and let the students decide on their own views?

3.0 out of 5 starsEh...
By H.M. Frank on April 4, 2012
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
The authors are obviously experts; however, they need to find a new editor as there's several typos and word usage errors in the book. Also, there's a lot of legal and court terms being used--none which define what they actually mean. In my opinion, a pre-cursor to an Employment Law class would be a basic American legal system course.

2.0 out of 5 starsToo Much Editorializing
By W. Speers on October 5, 2010
Format: Hardcover
From an instructor's perspective, this book has a number of problems. First, as some other reviewer correctly noted, it is full of opinionated statements that have questionable premises. Second, it is not very well organized. From the legalistic perspective, this book should have a short section that explains some of the basic principles of our law, such as what equity and common law are, the principles of agency law, and so, with an organized approach to the various legal theories that can justify an employment lawsuit. They might have devoted a chapter to laying out the Constitutional provisions, the federal statutes, contract law, the law of agency, and so on. Instead of giving an organized presentation of legal theories of liability, they raise such theories piecemeal, and incompletely. They might have focused their material a bit more instead of spending a lot of effort and devoting a lot of space to a 28-page chapter on race and color that adds nothing but heat and little or no light to the issues of Employment Law/Policy. Chapter Four is simply a waste of effort, except for the Reconstruction Acts, whose current value is worth examining, but remain mostly fringe theories despite recent use. Third, some statements are not supported by evidence. It may be true, for example, that whites think race discrimination is no longer a problem (though I don't believe that) while blacks consider it quite contemporary and real, but no polling data is offered in support of that argument; instead the authors rely on anecdotal evidence. Fourth, given that illegal immigration and employment of illegal aliens has been a hot-button issue for the last several years, one would have expected a better chapter than the one on ethnicity and employment law.Read more ›

I was pleasantly surprised that this text was in so good a condition. I purchased it used and am glad I did! The college bookstore was asking $200.00 for this book. I saved $150.00 on this purchase! This text is very well written and a must for all HR graduate students.

By Alvalaj on August 30, 2011
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Very well written and organized book. The legal cases were relevant to the learning objectives of each chapter and it helped solidify the chapter learning objectives by allowing the reader to put into practice what they had just read.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat book for the non-lawyers in business
By Book Lady on February 18, 2010
Format: Hardcover
This was my first exposure to employment law, so to speak, and this book is presented in a very easy to read manner for those of us who are not lawyers or studying to be lawyers. There are good case studies at the end to enhance one's understanding of how various elements of the Title VII laws are applied. I found it quite useful during my master's program.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood but with reservations
By J. Layton on September 25, 2010
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This book is pretty good, but the authors have really expressed their opinions and made it sounds like anything but their opinions is crazy. But if you can ignore that then its a pretty decent Employment law book.

The text came on time and in great condition. I would have liked to have received it sooner, but it all worked out. The price was great considering most of the other places I checked out was over double the price. It actually looked like new.

1.0 out of 5 starsNever read it, therefore, no clue

Never opened it once even though professor said it was required. College scam once again. However, that's not the manufacturers fault. But I'm still upset about it.
